To all whom 'it may concern. v

Be it knownthat we, vCumulus C. Srnno LER and HENRY T. SIDWAY citizens ofthe United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois,

and Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, respectively, have invented certain, new. and useful Improvements 1n Heating A. pliances, of which the following is a speci cation.

This invention relates to devices intended.

to be placed over the burner of'agas or similar stove, for the purpose of distributing the heat from said burner to a plurality .view to increased efliciency, and simplicity and durability .of construction.

In the accompanying draw ng, Figure is .a top plan' view of a heating appliance embodying the features of our invention.

Fig; 2 is an underside view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken upon the plane of line 3 3 of. Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail view of a handle for .the implement, Fig. 5 is a section on line 5 5 of Fig. 1. r

The embodiment of our invention which we have selected for illustration is adapted to distribute the heat from-the burner to three cooking utensils, although it will be understood that this number may be varied.

' As herein shown the'de'vice is adapted to other utensils to be'heated.

' be placed onthe top of a gasstove with its central portion over a burner, said device being adapted to support the Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a bottom plate and 2 a top plate, sa'ij'cl plates being substantially parallel with one an-- other -andbeing fixed together and spaced a art' by suitable means, as, for example,
